002 Contributor: The Strategist

I was going to call John Hendrickson the head of the EEOC Regional Office in Chicago a "government thug" for suing a Wisconsin company because of their english language requirement for employees. But it occurred to me that "thug" is too generous. At least a "thug" has the balls to do the dirty work themselves as they grab you by the throat, look you in the eyes, and extort your money.

Instead I have decided to call John Erickson "Little Stick" in homage to his own personal biography that you can read at the EEOC web site. John seems to be quite proud of the fact that the Chicago Tribune called him the "Big Stick" via the following quote:

"The Chicago office of the EEOC is one of the most aggressive federal agencies around...Led by regional attorney John Hendrickson, the EEOC's office at 500 W. Madison St. carries a big stick."

"Little Stick" has been at the EEOC since 1981. That's 33 years sucking on the government tit working for the most corrupt and out of control bureaucracy in the United States of America. It's real easy to think you carry a "big stick" when you can bring the full force of the American government down on a small business owner for some imagined or trumped-up issue.

There is no honor, courage or strength in what Little Stick does for a living. None. And like some men, their outward aggression quite ofter compensates for some inner deficency. Like not having the balls to fight fair, with honor and courage. I look forward to the day when Little Stick loses his job and pension and has to compete with the rest of us. Then he'll get the chance to see just how big his stick really is.

To be precise, Jerad and Amanda Miller were bug nuts crazy. Their cowardly attack on two unsuspecting policemen was despicable. As a proud Gadsden flag waving American patriot, the fact that they used this flag to cover their victms is a travesty. And not unlike their grotesque face-painted images found on their Facebook pages, this craven act played right into the hands of the folks at the Southern Poverty Law Center and Homeland Security who foment exactly this sort of gross caricature of small government activists.

So what is the connection? Besides the facts that Ayers is now an esteemed educator, advisor and confidant to the Obama administration, Boudin a highly respected Columbia University professor, and the Millers both dead, uneducated, drug-addled, convicted felons, the connection is that they both undertook their dastardly deeds in the name of a revolution.

Rice: 'Sacred obligation' led to Bergdahl swap - POLITICO.com: "Asked CNN host Candy Crowley if the deal struck through the Qatari government to trade the five suspects who were being held at the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, for Bergdahl means the United States can now no longer claim that it won’t negotiate with terrorists, Rice said on ‘State of the Union’ that she ‘wouldn’t put it that way.’"

If You Find Yourself Believing This, Glenn Beck Wants You to Unfriend Him"‘This morning I got up and I saw some more news reports, and more people in America that are standing up now and crying for revolution, insurrection, arming yourself, and a call to arms,’ Beck said on his radio program Tuesday. ‘I will tell you I believe in the Second Amendment, and I will defend myself. I believe in the rights that we have. But I will tell you more than I believe in my rights, I believe in the responsibilities that we have to God. And God does not call anyone to anger. God does not call anyone to vengeance ever, ever, ever.’"

Sheriff: Feds strategize for ‘raid’ on ranch: "He charged that it is Reid who is destroying his own state’s ranching industry as well as the U.S. Constitution. The sheriff chided the senator for making statements about abiding by laws."

The State Tax Grab by Steven Malanga, City Journal Winter 2014: "Revenue-hunting states have lately gone beyond raising their own taxes; now they’re trying to shake down firms and workers in other states. Stretching the limits of the U.S. Constitution’s Commerce Clause to the breaking point, local revenue agents have seized out-of-state trucks simply passing through their jurisdiction, refusing to release them until the firms that dispatched them fork over corporate income taxes. Finance departments have slapped out-of-state businesses with bills for thousands of dollars in corporate back taxes, based on little more than a single worker visiting the state sometime during the year. And tax agents have targeted employees who work remotely for in-state firms, claiming that they owe personal income taxes, even when they’ve never stepped foot in the taxing state."

Why does gender matter here? She didn’t stop him. He stopped himself with a bullet to his head. And if this “woman” is getting credit for “confronting” the gunman then she should share in the blame for not stopping the other 19 casualties? I mean, is this not an enormous failure on the part of the military police? Who are tasked with defending the soldiers who’s guns were taken away during the Bush admin?

Our criminal justice system has become a crime: Column: "Here's how things all-too-often work today: Law enforcement decides that a person is suspicious (or, possibly, just a political enemy). Upon investigation into every aspect of his/her life, they find possible violations of the law, often involving obscure, technical statutes that no one really knows. They then file a 'kitchen-sink' indictment involving dozens, or even hundreds of charges, which the grand jury rubber stamps. The accused then must choose between a plea bargain, or the risk of a trial in which a jury might convict on one or two felony counts simply on a 'where there's smoke there must be fire' theory even if the evidence seems less than compelling."

Obama Seeks Executive Options To Aid Illegal Aliens: "Obama’s announcement that he would seek to grant more executive amnesty to illegal aliens came after he met with three Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC) members on Thursday -- CHC chairman Rep. Ruben Hinojosa and Reps. Luis Gutierrez and Xavier Becerra."

Feinstein: CIA searched Intelligence Committee computers - The Washington Post: "The head of the Senate Intelligence Committee on Tuesday sharply accused the CIA of violating federal law and undermining the constitutional principle of congressional oversight as she detailed publicly for the first time how the agency secretly removed documents from computers used by her panel to investigate a controversial interrogation program."
